Listen marks the return of David Guetta. The new album confirms the dj at the top of the world dance collaborations with important and successful songs. Here are 5 reasons why the disc you will love.
1. Listen closes an era without denying an important story
Listen to David Guetta is a pop record with a heart that beats strong for the dance. A "full album" which is always the case straight to emphasize the legitimate role of top players EDM. Or the obvious one of rock stars among the dj. Only a month ago, the artist records stated: "I composed the guitar and the piano, and thinking about the voice, and only at the end of the process I produced all in an electronic way." It is a commitment that Guetta keeps to the letter, without betraying its history.
2. It is full of hit
Should start from the next hit. How Goodbye Friend feat. The Script, reminiscent at times I Can Only Imagine and could become a new and more exciting Without You. O the tasty Hey Mama with colleague Afrojack, Bebe Rexha, the hot Nicki Minaj and already booked a place in the high ranks of the chart. Eye then the roaring Bang My Head, with the powerful sounds of Nicky Romero (and the usual Daddy's Groove) and with a proven Whether as a counterweight to a riff that does a lot remixes by Cedric Gervais. Yesterday, however, it is noted more for voice intriguing Bebe Rexha that the repetitive dance / country marked Avicii. While the spatial No Money No Love with Showtek, Elliphant and the usual excellent Ms Dynamite pulls out a Guetta so cunning as nostalgic.
3. It is a record that will do well to music, because it has great songs
"Dance, yes, but also a lot of heart." The notes evocative of staff The Whisperer and clear voice Both, for example, are looking straight ahead in this direction. In STOP, which is a more refined Titanium, Ryan Tedder knows to be sublime. And Emeli Sandé's What I Did For Love is bright, huge, exciting. Face more radio-friendly and less size of the festival is rather fantastic Bad Sun Goes Down feat. MAGIC! Sonny & Wilson, where the quote from The Sound of Violence of Cassius (on which Guetta put his hands in 2002), the hints of reggae and work more effective Showtek give a touch of magic all its own. Finally there is the voice of Sam Martin, seductive in Dangerous, more anonymous Lovers On The Sun, still a novelty.
4. Listen Guetta remains behind the times
No surprise instead for the stars on the catwalk. The highly decorated One Love or the indestructible Nothing But The Beat excel in terms of pop star dream (Rihanna), remixed (Madonna), cleared (Both the same) or resuscitate (Snoop Dogg, Usher, Ne-Yo and perhaps an entire scene hip hop until a few years ago in a coma). What changes, then, after nell'EDM Listen? At the level of sounds little or nothing. Guetta, simply, is updated.
5. Consecrate the role of DJ popstar
Listen, more than anything else, consecrates the figure of dj producer who not only supports but works in all respects according to the logic of the traditional pop star. Better yet: it tells us that today is the dj the only real big pop star, which starts from the radio hit and with remixes triumphs well in clubs (see Dangerous). Above all, remember a friend as Avicii and a pupil of the most technically savvy as Calvin Harris from that point is shared the dance, where she arrived and thanks to whom. On a personal level, it is more difficult because the disc is the first after the divorce from the former manager and before ex-wife Cathy Lobe. Even for this, Listen is a test muscle. An interesting restart. It is the motto of "Work hard, play hard" that nevertheless reinforces.
